Critics accuse Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney of betraying the fight against climate change. Others say he is facing reality and has no choice but boost polluting sectors tha

With the unveiling of his government’s much-anticipated new deal with Alberta, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s approach to fighting climate change – and how he intends to balance it with an economic agenda embracing traditional energy industries – has finally come into full view.

Prime Minister Mark Carney reached a tentative deal with the province as part of his program to curb the country’s economic dependence on the United States.

Liberal MP Steven Guilbeault has quit cabinet over the federal government signing Thursday’s memorandum of understanding with Alberta.

After becoming Trudeau’s climate minister, Guilbeault was a prolific supporter and architect of many of the climate policies that came to define the previous government’s vision — many of which were abandoned on Thursday in Mark Carney’s deal with Alberta.

When Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled his government’s first federal budget last week, he called it a “generational investment” to make Canada “stronger, fairer, and cleaner.” But environmental groups say the numbers tell a different story.

Among expected features of memorandum of understanding is an exemption for the province from clean energy regulations

Guilbeault's resignation — the rare cabinet resignation due to a disagreement over government policy — both adds to and underlines the test of national and political leadership that Mark Carney signed up for when he put his signature on that memorandum.
